TANF
The following table may be used when diverting for the needs of noncertified tax dependents in the home.
If the tax dependent is a ... then use the budgetary needs figure for ... parent, spouse (including spouse of child), or child age 19 or older, an adult.* child under age 19, a child. * If the number of persons whose needs are diverted includes more than two adults, use the chart figure for two adults and the number of children from the column labeled Caretaker EDGs With Second Parent. If there are a total of three adults, add an additional amount from the chart for the family size of one ($313); or if there are a total of four adults, add an additional amount from the chart for a family size of two ($498). Continue the pattern depending upon whether the number of additional adults is an odd number (5 = $498 + $313) or an even number (6 = $498 + $498).
When diverting for an 18-year-old child who turns age 19 during one of the budget months, the budgetary needs figure of an adult is used beginning with the month after the child turns age 19.
